Abstract
In this chapter, we deal with the standard model (SM) of elementary particles interacting with classical gravity. Within this framework, we study the cancellation of anomalies in gauge and Lorentz currents as well as lepton and baryon number violation. We also consider the effect of the matter fields on gravitation. Finally, the pure gravitational sector is also described within the effective Lagrangian approach as the low-energy limit of some more fundamental theory of gravity.
